Summer Discovery Ranger Program 2017/18

Our Summer Discovery Ranger Program runs during the peak summer period from 27 December 2017 to 29 January 2018 - and offers visitors to Tasmania's national parks the chance to join in a wide range of activities such as guided walks, evening talks, childrens' activities and much, much more. Discovery Rangers will be out in local communities sharing the wonder of the surrounding reserves at community events throughout the summer holidays.

Now in its 39th year, the program continues to expand and innovate. This year will see our highly qualified team of Discovery Rangers working their magic at:
